The default license policy for copyrighted works, at least in the United States, is "All rights reserved." Any permissions not granted in the license are withheld. There is an implicit use license which automatically attaches to published works, but even this is under assault in the U.S. with laws like the DMCA. The license is not DFSG-free. Redistribution is not permitted (DFSG 1), modification is not permitted (DSFG 3) and it does not grant permission for use in non-personal, non-educational, and for-profit activities (DFSG 6). -- G.
